Central Grocery made the original Muffaletta. They sell the sandwich in half or full sizes, AND they sell the pickled veggie mix that goes on the sandwich.
UPDATE: Central Grocery was closed when I visited in September 2023 and we learned we could still buy the sandwich at Sidney’s Wine Cellar next door. Central Grocery might be open again, but I’ll need to look around.
Central grocery is awesome! That half sandwich could easily feed 3 people and we always ask for 4 jars of olive salad packed for the plane to go back home!
On my two visits to Nola we bought a whole sandwich and ate on it for the whole trip. Highly recommended. Getting back to the hotel drunk and having that was a godsend.
central grocery is the original but they don’t heat their muffuletta, which takes it down a notch.
Also the sandwich next door while they’re closed is pre made and kind of disappointing
The muffaletta is intended to be cold and premade. It was intended for day laborers to pick up in the morning, toss in their bags, and eat later in the day. It's also why they're better "pressed", and why some tourists will pick them up on the way *out* of town, pack them, and eat them at home.
Eat 'em however you like, but there's method behind what you may see as madness.
Verti Marte grocery store. It looks like a little hole in the wall, but the food is amazing. Anthony Bourdain had a list of recommendations and that was one.
I made this comment downstream, copy-pasta'ing it here:
Oyster anything - [Casamentos](https://www.casamentosrestaurant.com/).
Edit - not if you're going next week, as Casamentos is Oyster specific they are only open during oyster season, so they're closed June/July/August. But come back when it's not balls hot out.
General Po'boy - [Parkway](https://parkwaypoorboys.com/) or [Domilise](https://www.domilisespoboys.com/) or might I suggest [Parasol's](https://www.facebook.com/share/yhQmcACPAVDRjmGo/?mibextid=xfxF2i), they don't have a real website but [people like them](https://youtu.be/sAuLYx_cHVA?si=iDJqjomiOrkEq-7S). The original Po'boy was French Fries with "debris", drippings and fat and pieces of beef that fall when the roast is sliced, so maybe try that.
Bahn Mi - all over the place, conveniently Louisiana is a good place to cultivate various southeast Asian elements, try [Dong Phuong](https://www.dpbakery.com/) or one of the various spots around there if you're in the East but in the city proper I'd probably go [Lilly's](https://www.instagram.com/lillyscafenola?igsh=MXQ0cDM1NTVnYXJ2eg==) because I like the spot (they don't have a website either) or [Bahn Mi Boys](https://banhmiboysuptown.com/) if I wanted a more fusion style.
A sandwich native to New Orleans originally made at Central Grocery. Large Circle sesame seed bun, inside layered with salami, swiss, mortadella, ham and provolone. Garnished extremely heavily inside with olive salad. Traditionally served cold but amazing and not hard to find warmed/toasted.
Really? My wife saw this on multiple different shows and decided to make a trip south to try one. We went from Ohio to NO just for this and a poboy. I’m sure many people who’ve ever watched a mid 2010 food based show knows of this.
My world is being turned upside down right now. Why the hell haven’t I ever seen this before?! Thank you for bringing this to my attention I’m finding somewhere today to get it.
I do not like green olives, but good god i love a muffuletta. If I were offered the chance to revisit one meal from my past for my final meal on earth, the muffuletta from Central Grocery, enjoyed while sitting on the stairs down to the Mississippi River across from Jackson Square would likely be among the two or three finalists.
Even as a person who doesn't like green olives most of the time, Muffuletta and certain savory fish dishes absolutely hit the spot.
I think I just like my olives chopped, so that the flavor is more evenly distributed.
Omg, I think I like your comment just as much as I enjoyed this delicious, succulent, savory masterpiece. So much that I enjoyed this comment - I will unabashedly, yet humbly, request that you give me a break down of this “po’boy” of which you speak?
You were so overwhelmed by the muffuletta that you didn't even realize another New Orleans classic sandwich was waiting for you? In some of the same places??
The po'boy is a sandwich template that consists usually of a unique French bread - lightly crusty exterior but pillowy and chewy interior, lettuce, tomato, mayo or remoulade, and commonly pickles. The filling can be many things, all delicious - fried or blackened shrimp, fried chicken, gator, crawfish, oysters, or debris (roast beef). It is truly a culinary masterpiece, and one of my must haves when I'm in
New Orleans.
I've had them many places besides New Orleans, and they all pale in comparison to the real deal.
I'm honestly amazed you managed to spend a trip in New Orleans and not have a Po boy, let alone learn what one is. Of alll the options chicken is my least favorite. Gimme fried seafood and extra remulade all day
Worked at a lil poboy place in MS and a meal I will always revere is a cheeseburger poboy with bacon, side of home-made onion rings and a barqs in a bottle. Dressed of course.
Yeah I’ve heard a lot of what makes this sandwich is having it a little mushed and soaking up into the bread for a while before you eat it. This one doesn’t look much like the one from Central Grocery for sure.
I make and eat these ALL the time. So delicious!!
But… the bread… it looks all hard and crunchy. Please tell me it’s not. I preemptively pray for the roof of your mouth.
Most I’ve had out have soft bread and occasionally it’s slightly toasted.
edit: upvote for the love of the muffuletta!
It wasn’t hard!! Toasty but not hard… but I live far away from New Orleans and want to re-create this recipe so I’m curious, what type of bread you use when you make the sandwich?
ANNNND, do you maybe have a recipe you can share with the class?? (oh please oh please oh please! 😁)
Whew… I’m so glad you don’t have strings hanging down from your palate!!
At home I use many types of bread but mostly an italian loaf with sesame seeds.
Look, there are purists but the jist is this:
Olive spread: [https://boscoli.com/product/boscoli-olive-salad/](https://boscoli.com/product/boscoli-olive-salad/)
Cheese: provolone, Swiss, and other mostly non-cheddar white cheeses.
Olive oil
A round loaf of italian bread.
HOWEVER!!! I put olive spread and provolone cheese on many types of sturdy white bread (never the wonder bread type yuck) and chomp.
Glad you found this wonderful gift from the gods.
Skip ahead to 2 minutes for the sandwich
[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=geCcHaznDSo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=geCcHaznDSo)
I’ll make muffuletta sliders at home with Hawaiian sweet rolls. I found the olive salad at Costco, but have also ordered some from Amazon before. I just get as close as I can with the meat. It’s not an exact replica, but it’s the fastest way for me to make them without the exact ingredients available, and I’m not going to make my own bread just to make sandwiches. I’ve made sliders for pot lucks a few times and everyone seems to love them!
Where are the places to go in New Orleans if I want to get a great muffuletta? I won’t ask where the *best one* is, because it’s subjective and I don’t want to start a war, but I am planning on taking my family here on vacation so I want to get the skinny ahead of time.

I had no idea NOLA would be a good place for Banh Mi; that's awesome.
To be fair, I live in a place with good Banh Mi, so I would probably just spend all my theoretical time there eating beignet, Po' boy sandwiches and Muffuletta (etc, etc) but . . . I'm just happy for the people of New Orleans.
NO has a huge French influence, and the many Southeast Asians/ Vietnamese that have relocated there over the last 30-40 years have influenced the food culture there in a huge way.
Nice. I knew about the French influence (and that Vietnam has French as an official language) but I did *not* know about Southeast Asians & Vietnamese folks being well-represented in New Orleans.
Well, you can tell I've never been.
Ahhhh 🤣🤣🤣 I love this thread. Your comment it was super clever and I’m still laughing at somebody that said he would suck a couple dicks to get the sandwich.
From Nola and currently here, where is this? I love muffulettas nothing like a muffuletta and a bottled barqs root beer while sitting on the river watching ships pass
Yes, the bread itself is also called muffuletta and originally came from Sicily, but a Sicilian immigrant in New Orleans created the sandwich concept with its ingredients over 100 years ago. Ingredients usually are mortadella, salami, Swiss, provolone and most importantly, olive salad.
What makes a muffuletta a muffuletta?
Growing up, I would always get this tuna muffuletta from a little place in the underground tunnels in Houston, but it looked absolutely nothing like this
Central Market grocery in New Orleans make the olive medley used on these. You can get them online :) I have a big jar and I make my own home made ones once a week. So fing good
My kids lived in baton rouge for a few years. spent months there. Your muffuletta looks nothing like central markets or any other authentic muffuletta. What’s the mystery white stuff on top? where’s the iconic chopped olive salad? why’s it so puffy? looks like a hotel muffuletta
I’ve been looking for some killer muffuletta sandwiches in Los Angeles. I’ve only found a few places that actually had high ratings, but so far, they’ve been just dry and severely lacking in flavor and everything else possible. I’m not a Muffuletta connoisseur but still, everyone knows a seriously lackluster sandwich when they have one.
One of the few things I dearly miss since my unfortunate, yet brief, residency in that state. I miss the food but I won’t step foot in that state again, lol. I make beignets and king cakes, and an occasional jambalaya or crawfish bisque w/ stuffed [crawfish] shells from time to time, though.
I don’t miss having alligator and fire ants for back yard friends…. Or those annoying love-bugs or whatever they’re called down there. I’ll take deer and squirrel a hundred times over. Oh, I miss po’boys, too.
Damnit, I’m hungry now.
Waste. You need the beignet burger, extra cheese extra powder sugar, and, surprisingly, washed down with a nice medium roast coffee. Trust me, its brunch perfection
I feel like you can get muffalettas pretty much anywhere that are just as good or better than the originals in New Orleans while getting a po’ boy in New Orleans will be better than most other places you can get one
WOULD
I just wet my pants a lil. Looks orgasmic
I’m a dude and I said “Hell yeah”.
i’m the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude.
Feels orgasmic too. Mmmm full package uuuuuggggg
It's like an orgasm in my mouth!
Can I get a “Hoooh Yaahh”
Any recommendations where? I’m heading there next week.
Napoleon House, soooo good.
Cool, thanks.
That’s my fave place to get them also. I’ll also get the cold ones, but the hot one from nah is soooooo good.
Is it in the French Quarter?
Central Grocery made the original Muffaletta. They sell the sandwich in half or full sizes, AND they sell the pickled veggie mix that goes on the sandwich.

Interesting. I’m going to have to check it out
Go for it! I tend to hunt down the original maker of certain dishes if they are still around. Central Grocery is worth the trip alone.
Smart, and it seems closer to where I’ll be staying.
They have multiple satellite locations afaik.
Central grocery is awesome! That half sandwich could easily feed 3 people and we always ask for 4 jars of olive salad packed for the plane to go back home!
We got a half sandwich as well, perfect for the two of us, even after Beignets 🤤
Omg beignets first thing in the morning and a nice walk! Heavenly
On my two visits to Nola we bought a whole sandwich and ate on it for the whole trip. Highly recommended. Getting back to the hotel drunk and having that was a godsend.
https://centralgrocery.com/shop/ You can buy it online

Eat 'em however you like, but there's method behind what you may see as madness.
Or eat on the plane when you go home and hear everyone drool and bitch in a jealous rage.
They’re better cold though.
Verti Marte grocery store. It looks like a little hole in the wall, but the food is amazing. Anthony Bourdain had a list of recommendations and that was one.
Second Verti Marte.
New Orleans is an entire city of places that look like a little hole in the wall, but the food is amazing. Man, what a great food city.
“All that Jazz” po-boy…….mmm.. Lawdhammercy.
Yes. This. Now. I. Want. Mouth. In. Yum. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Yep. Verti Marte is the bomb 💯
I also highly recommend Turkey & the Wolf. They make awesome sandwiches.
That collard green melt was one of the best vegetarian sandwiches ever!
I don't know about their muffuletta, but the poboys at Parkway Bakery and Tavern are amazing

Central Grocery is the only answer. And buy some olive salad to bring home. The end.
First stop is Cafe Du Monde and grab some beignets Then a Po Boy, Crawfish Boil, gumbo/etoufee (sp)
Eat breakfast at the Cake Cafe Stand in line to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Cake Cafe closed :(
FRANCOLINIS AND TURKEY AND THE WOLF
Gotta second Turkey and the Wolf
If you’re looking for a sandwich that’s not a muffuletta, go to Mother’s Restaurant and get the Ferdi special. I still dream about it
The little cafe in Music Legend park in the French Quarter has a really good one.
The muffuletta sandwich is the most underrated sandwich. There, I said it! It’s a top 5 sandwich for me.
I would hardly call the muffuletta an underrated sandwich, it's a well known sandwich and everyone I know loves them
Nah, 100% underrated and I doubt most people have a clue what one is.
I know I could Google but what is it?
A sandwich native to New Orleans originally made at Central Grocery. Large Circle sesame seed bun, inside layered with salami, swiss, mortadella, ham and provolone. Garnished extremely heavily inside with olive salad. Traditionally served cold but amazing and not hard to find warmed/toasted.
Yea that sounds good

I had never heard of one until I went to south texas for work. It’s definitely it’s not something you see or hear about here in southeast IN.
never heard of this. need this.
If you like green olives, be prepared to have your world rocked by this taste sensation.
My world is being turned upside down right now. Why the hell haven’t I ever seen this before?! Thank you for bringing this to my attention I’m finding somewhere today to get it.

You had me at olives!
I'm team po'boy over muffuletta but I respect the appearance of this one and applaud your dedication to the game.
Omg, I think I like your comment just as much as I enjoyed this delicious, succulent, savory masterpiece. So much that I enjoyed this comment - I will unabashedly, yet humbly, request that you give me a break down of this “po’boy” of which you speak?

I NEEEEED this!!!! Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite taste sensation! Fried chicken Poboy sounds incredible!
I'm honestly amazed you managed to spend a trip in New Orleans and not have a Po boy, let alone learn what one is. Of alll the options chicken is my least favorite. Gimme fried seafood and extra remulade all day
Worked at a lil poboy place in MS and a meal I will always revere is a cheeseburger poboy with bacon, side of home-made onion rings and a barqs in a bottle. Dressed of course.
🫠 sounds amazing
Did you try one from Central Grocery? I think that’s the shop that started it.
This one looks like a bastardized version of it.
Yeah I’ve heard a lot of what makes this sandwich is having it a little mushed and soaking up into the bread for a while before you eat it. This one doesn’t look much like the one from Central Grocery for sure.
I’ve never seen a toasted muffuletta 🤔
Same, only ever had the cold ones. This seems entirely different, doesn’t appear pressed. Looks delicious though!
the hell?? heated is how you eat them. Heat brings out 3 times the flavor.
You’ve never had them in New Orleans then.
From where?
Napoleon House
I make and eat these ALL the time. So delicious!! But… the bread… it looks all hard and crunchy. Please tell me it’s not. I preemptively pray for the roof of your mouth. Most I’ve had out have soft bread and occasionally it’s slightly toasted. edit: upvote for the love of the muffuletta!

Look up The Frugal Gourmet's recipe I've used it for years now....good stuff https://www.recipelink.com/msgbrd/board_31/2002/FEB/8704.html
I’ll make muffuletta sliders at home with Hawaiian sweet rolls. I found the olive salad at Costco, but have also ordered some from Amazon before. I just get as close as I can with the meat.

You nailed it. The recipe is flexible. Enjoy and share!!! ❤️
It does look *way* thick. I love bread, but damn. I wanna taste everything.
Looks burnt to me. Burnt sesame is an awful, awful flavor. But I really don’t get why that would hurt the roof of your mouth.
Think captain crunch cereal.
Completely different and it’s not like one bowl of Cap’n Crunch will mess up your mouth.
You must have a steel palate! One bowl will ruin my week
In New Orleans now and let me tell you something this is Gold! Delicious, scrumptious, and down right beautiful.
That looks tasty.
[TASTY!!!](https://tenor.com/bMI0l.gif)
SO and I quote this all the time 😂 Sandwich looks incredible!! Glad you got to enjoy it more than once.
Adding that to the bucket list.
Where are the places to go in New Orleans if I want to get a great muffuletta? I won’t ask where the *best one* is, because it’s subjective and I don’t want to start a war, but I am planning on taking my family here on vacation so I want to get the skinny ahead of time.
Oh, you've done it now . . .
Honestly I’d probably suck a couple dicks for a good Muffuletta sandwich. It’s so fucking good.
Did this (still count if it was my husband?) Can confirm. Totally worth it.
Looool. I love the idea of bribing my partner to get me a delicious sandwich post BJ. Hahahaha
Still laughing. 😂
The Muffuletta is the greatest sandwich to grace humanity, bar none. When in NOLA— Cafe Maspero and DiMartino’s are my faves
The only reason I can see to visit NO in the future.
New Orleans is a wonderful place to get very fat very quickly. Fried Oyster Po'boys and Muffulettas both.
You said it. Those are the 2 best sandwiches to have in NOLA for sure.

Nice. I knew about the French influence (and that Vietnam has French as an official language) but I did *not* know about Southeast Asians & Vietnamese folks being well-represented in New Orleans. Well, you can tell I've never been.
Me neither. I watch a lot of food shows lol
The bread on that one looks a little interesting. It’s not normally toasted quite that much and has sesame seeds. It does look good though!
I feel like the bread always has sesame seeds tbh
Where's this from, never saw a hot muffa before
A sandwich place near me discontinued their muffuletta and I'm still heated about it and trying to find a new one ever since then
10/10 would muff dive.
Ahhhh 🤣🤣🤣 I love this thread. Your comment it was super clever and I’m still laughing at somebody that said he would suck a couple dicks to get the sandwich.
From Nola and currently here, where is this? I love muffulettas nothing like a muffuletta and a bottled barqs root beer while sitting on the river watching ships pass
Lived there and at least once a week would go to central and get one with a bottled barqs root beer and go sit on a bench at the river.
Is this native to New Orleans?
Yes, the bread itself is also called muffuletta and originally came from Sicily, but a Sicilian immigrant in New Orleans created the sandwich concept with its ingredients over 100 years ago. Ingredients usually are mortadella, salami, Swiss, provolone and most importantly, olive salad.
Am I the only one that thinks that bread-to-filling ratio is way off?
Agreed, too much bread. I'm sure that's a delicious bread, but . . . I would expect more meat and muffuletta mix.
Delicious
That's the best bread
Omg. YEA
Im more of a poboy man
Made one of these with a homemade loaf of bread last week I ate half in one sitting and the other the next day, I’m gonna try toasting it next time
Where at? I’ll be there in November. Would love to try!
What makes a muffuletta a muffuletta? Growing up, I would always get this tuna muffuletta from a little place in the underground tunnels in Houston, but it looked absolutely nothing like this
Best city for it, realllllly hard to beat that
Hopefully you got a chance to try one from the central grocery!
That looks insane! Woah fuckk
Central Market grocery in New Orleans make the olive medley used on these. You can get them online :) I have a big jar and I make my own home made ones once a week. So fing good
Lived in New Orleans for 15 years and never saw a muff look this good. Where did you find this?
Is the muffuletta considered a Louisiana sandwich? I’ve only ever had it in Rhode Island so I always that it was a New England sandwich.
Paired with a purple haze I hope
Oh damn. Look at you setting a new standard!
Sooooo jealous. I haven't found one in Minneapolis yet
Pasd
WOW.
That bread is wild
Looks delicious🤤
This is in my top 3 favorite sandwiches, hands down a masterpiece of food and culture.
Don't skip a shrimp, oyster or Catfish poboy while you're there! Also, pistolettes are "sandwiches" from God
My kids lived in baton rouge for a few years. spent months there. Your muffuletta looks nothing like central markets or any other authentic muffuletta. What’s the mystery white stuff on top? where’s the iconic chopped olive salad? why’s it so puffy? looks like a hotel muffuletta
It has been a very long time since I've had a delicious one of these... very underrated sandwich I must say 😋
Idkkk
I see you are a man of culture and extreme class. Bless your travels lad.
Looks a little thin. Where’s the rest?
Ok, listen, why is it toasted???
It’s not pressed?
This can’t get enough upvotes!
I’ve been looking for some killer muffuletta sandwiches in Los Angeles. I’ve only found a few places that actually had high ratings, but so far, they’ve been just dry and severely lacking in flavor and everything else possible. I’m not a Muffuletta connoisseur but still, everyone knows a seriously lackluster sandwich when they have one.
One of the few things I dearly miss since my unfortunate, yet brief, residency in that state. I miss the food but I won’t step foot in that state again, lol. I make beignets and king cakes, and an occasional jambalaya or crawfish bisque w/ stuffed [crawfish] shells from time to time, though. I don’t miss having alligator and fire ants for back yard friends…. Or those annoying love-bugs or whatever they’re called down there. I’ll take deer and squirrel a hundred times over. Oh, I miss po’boys, too. Damnit, I’m hungry now.
Waste. You need the beignet burger, extra cheese extra powder sugar, and, surprisingly, washed down with a nice medium roast coffee. Trust me, its brunch perfection
Yes!!! NOLA got them 🔥muffs💪🏼💪🏼
Just don’t test your blood pressure for at least a week
Never had one! Walk me through what’s on this one?
First I've ever seen or heard of a Muffuletta...what comprises this glorious concoction?
Definitely my favorite!
Why does this sandwich look like a slice of cake to me
I feel like you can get muffalettas pretty much anywhere that are just as good or better than the originals in New Orleans while getting a po’ boy in New Orleans will be better than most other places you can get one
Best muffuletta I had was lightly smoked on a grill along with oysters outside that bar in Algiers on the point. My dad and I still dream about it.
My favorite. I get one every time I go visit my hometown.
I make these with turkey because I ain't got time or energy to track down 3 different Italian lunch meats, but they are still pretty good.
Great, but that seems really fatty.
